The intense interest has prompted us to extend free access to this course to as many people as possible in an effort to help organisations avoid becoming a victim,” said Mirtha Collin, director of education, (ISC)².   “The course covers the major distinctions between ransomware and malware, the key characteristics of ransomware attacks, and the protection strategies and remediation plans that should be in place ahead of time.”

• “One of the things that I really appreciate when it comes to these PDI courses is the currency of the subject matter. As the nation is currently grappling with the huge ransomware case affecting the oil transportation pipeline on our US East Coast, I am very glad to see this ransomware course in your portfolio. It really exemplifies the relevancy and currency of so many of your courses.”
 
• “This course provided a high-level overview of Ransomware and what to expect. It provided some insight into areas I have not thought about up to this point, such as the role of the insurance company.”
